Morning After Cures

Who doesn’t enjoy a night to unwind with friends? But then we always pay for it’s pleasures with poor looks and feeling sluggish in the morning. Or if you have spent the night drinking with your girlfriends, one thing usually overlooked is drinking water in between shots as alcohol dehydrates the body.

Before going to bed, have a light snack to balance the salt and drink some more water! Here are some tips to give you a quick fix the morning after.

If you only have 5 minutes: Drink water and take a warm shower. A lemon or citrus flavor body wash or soap like Dove’s Go Fresh Energizing Beauty Bar (P45) and your favorite face scrub helps wake your body up. Go about with your usual after-shower regimen. Massage your usual moisturizer on your face to relax your facial muscles and an eye cream helps brighten up your eye area. You can try the Body Recipe Eye Cream from HBC for only P110. If you have red eyes, use eye drops.

If you have 10 minutes: You have a bit more time to do minimal makeup. Follow the tips above then use your concealer to cover imperfections or redness. Tinted moisturizer helps- you can also mix a drop of your moisturizer with a drop of your concealer or foundation. Curl your lashes, apply your mascara and use a flesh-toned eyeliner to make your eyes look fresh (Try Nichido’s Spot Minerals Concealer for P138). Today, blush will be your best friend- it gives warmth and life to your complexion. Use your favorite natural lip color shade and you are now ready to face your day!
